person and employer. Morals can change depending on the environment.



Utilitarianism: ethical theory that determines right from wrong to produce outcomes, and bring


out the greatest good. limitation of the theory is that the outcomes can be unpredictable which


can make it difficult to use this theory, additionally, it doesn’t consider values.

wider population, however, I would allow the visitors and staff to leave.



Deontology: moral theory of what is acceptable in society, having general rules of what the right


and wrong thing to do.



Virtue: A theory that explains the good or right thing to do.
